IN TROUBLED WATERS.
A Dubious Outlook for the Portland T.
hennebec Steamboat Co.

1t seems that the Portland & Kennebec
oteamooat company are in trouble. At their
once on custom house wharf yesterday morn
ing, men and teams were employed in haul
ing OIL the freight that has accumulated for
Shipment to the river. The freight will be
forwarded by ran and the owner of the build
ing intends to lock the door as soon as the
last piece of freight has been removed The
company is in arrears for rent, and are also
owing the freight agent a months salary.
The steamer Jessie B. is reported tied up
at Bath under a writ of attachment. The
attachment was served to secure Portland
parties on bill for fitting up the boat. There
are also bills owing other persons and wages
owing the cook and mate.
The boat is owned by Mr.. T. A. Bartram,
OF Bridgeport, Conn, president of the Port
JARVIS Steamboat Co., and vas leased by the
Portland & Keunebec line.
Mr., Bartram was in Portland Saturday. 1t
Is understood he has gone to Bath to release
his boat. The claims of the crew of the
boat are valid against the owner. The other
claimants may have TO seek redress from
other sources.
Capt. kilmer is absent from Augusta, his
present address not being definitely known
at the Office here. He left this city some
over two weeks since. A fortnight ago last
Sabbath he WAS at Fort Popham where he
spent the day. The following Monday he
went to Portland and told the writer that he
was to appear before the Board of Trade in
that city in the interest of a new boat which
be intended to purchase, the "Sylvan Glen"
1t seems that afterwards he went to New
York and finding the proposed steamer must
have new boiler, he decided to take anoth-
er boat which would cost more, returning to
Portland, as 1t was stated to raise more mon
ey Now 1t is reported he is absent from
Portland
The Cony Bros. OF this city, who were
agents for the company in this city, say they
know nothing about the steamer or Capt.
kllmer. An Augusta gentleman who saw
the Captains books, says he had Sl7,0 900
worth OF stock for the purchase OF the new
craft, which as taken in this vicinity.
The Lewiston Journal says: sit was said
this morning that Capt. Klmer brought the
charter to Captain Sprague without signature
and that Captain Sprague signed general
manager After that it is alleged no other
signatures were affirmed; and that the names
of the Cony brothers of Augusta, aud that of
Captain Kilmer do not appear, except in the
body of the charter"

Storm Effects on Mentality.

1t has been argued, with more OF
less warmth, that ones disposition is
largely affected by The kind of weather
which prevails when one is born. While
this is possible, it is also funciful, and
but few put any faith in it. There is
however, another weather phenomenon
in which | believe; | am convinced
that thought is influenced. in Il yer,
considerable degree, by the weather.
My notice WAS first drawn toward this
by line in one of Noltaire's letters, in
which he said; ''My work has been
murkY to-day, because the weather
was murky." From this time on. |
took close and careful account of nv
mental condition during various kinds
of weather.
Once, rs an experiment, | planned
two novels. To b. worked ON simulta.
neously, The one plot was shaped dur.
stormy period, and the other dur no
brief season of sunshine and summer
glory which immediately followed.
Whenever it was stormy, worked IN.
on tue storm-ptanned novel; aud when.
ever the weather was bright | worked
upon the other. In each instance,
wholly surrendered myself to tn,
moods which the weather stirred n,
within me, and made no effort TO shak,
oil the good cheer of the one or the de
spondency with which the other en-
compassed me, As a result, the move
upon which was settled no shadow o
the storm-taint was cheerful and good
humored; but the other was so bitter
mournful aud vindictive that | neye
